Book Review:
Stephen A. Siegel, Let Us Now Praise Infamous Men (reviewing Owen Fiss’s History of the Supreme Court of the United States: Troubled Beginnings of the Modern State, 1888 – 1910 (1993)), 73 TEXAS L. REV. 661 (1995).
 

Abstract:
Professor Siegel reviews Fiss’s history of the Supreme Court during the term that Melville Weston Fuller served as Chief Justice, the period in which the Court handed down Plessy v. Ferguson, Lockner v. New York, and other famous and infamous decisions. Siegel believes the work to be a delightful history of the period for the general reader, but suggests that historians will find it the book to propound, though comprehensively, what is currently the standard view of the Fuller court, without breaking much new ground.
